Una novela que sigue el hilo de la gran literatura norteamericana y que ha llegado para dar un nuevo sentido al silencio y un nuevo valor a las emociones.

La novela que hay que leer. Para descubrir... Qu dicen y qu callan los hombres. De d nde viene y d nde va la culpa. Cu nto importa el sexo. A quien podemos llamar amigo. Y finalmente... Qu precio tiene la vida y cu ndo deja de tener valor.

Para descubrir eso y m s, aqu est Tan poca vida, una historia que recorre m s de tres d cadas de amistad en la vida de cuatro hombres que crecen juntos en Manhattan. Cuatro hombres que tienen que sobrevivir al fracaso y al xito y que, a lo largo de los a os, aprenden a sobreponerse a las crisis econ micas, sociales y emocionales. Cuatro hombres que comparten una idea muy peculiar de la intimidad, una manera de estar juntos hecha de pocas palabras y muchos gestos. Cuatro hombres cuya relaci n la autora utiliza para realizar una minuciosa indagaci n de los l mites de la naturaleza humana.

Tan poca vida se ha convertido en un aut ntico fen meno literario, un xito sin precedentes en las redes sociales que ha sido un nimemente aclamado por la cr tica y los lectores. Hanya Yanagihara, su autora, ha sido comparada con Jonathan Franzen y Donna Tartt por su capacidad para describir con maestr a la psicolog a de personajes complejos y hallar en el camino respuesta a cuestiones universales. Una nueva y joven voz literaria que ha llegado para quedarse.

A VIRAL SENSATION ON BOOKTOK

Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement--and a great gift for its readers.

When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome--but that will define his life forever.

In rich and resplendent prose, Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.
